Matthew 21:14-27: Fig Tree; Authority Questioned

Gotta love Jesus. Every time the chief priests and teachers of the law try to trap him, he turns the tables and they are the ones trapped–with truth. They so couldn’t deny it when Jesus asked them about John’s baptism, that they had to reply, “We don’t know.” And since this revealed their hearts were not ready to hear truth, Jesus told them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these doings.” Jesus is amazing. It’s not wonder that everyone acknowledges him–including Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, New Agers, animists, etc… I’m proud to be his follower.
